You Can Now Share Reels & Posts With Just Close Friends

Nov 16 2023

Instagram users now have the option to share Reels and posts exclusively with their Close Friends, as announced by the Meta-owned social media platform on Tuesday.

This new tool introduces a significant shift in how users curate their feeds, ensuring that specific posts are visible solely to individuals on their Close Friends list, identifiable by the familiar green star icon associated with the existing feature.

Close Friends has been a favoured feature among Instagram users, serving as a protected space free from the inherent pressures of broader social media interactions. This tool enables users to share Stories and Notes selectively with a chosen group within their larger following. Notably, Close Friends can view each other’s usernames when engaging with shared posts.

With the latest update, users gain the ability to share an expanded range of content exclusively with their Close Friends, resembling the concept of “finstas” – private accounts where users traditionally posted content they didn’t want to share with everyone on their main feed.

The process involves selecting the Close Friends audience option before sharing a post, emphasising the platform’s commitment to providing users with more control over their content’s visibility and audience.

On her part, President Metsola emphasised the importance for Hamas to be stopped in order for Gaza to be governed by the legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people.

President Metsola reiterated that Hamas must not be allowed to operate with impunity and that they do not represent the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people.
